#this is not a vague post

I always find myself perplexed by the fact that shipping has become distant from "What If" (mostly on other websites, not Tumblr as much). It's the reason I ship multiple things or why I may present characters as platonic sometimes and romantic others. Some days, I prefer to just see them purely a platonic lense, or perhaps with another character. It feels too limiting to lock myself into one interpretation forever.

I'm not talking from a moral perspective or anything, but even just from like, a politically advantageous perspective, practicing empathy for how and why other people think and what motivates them, especially the "common people" is vital to actually achieving any organization I would imagine. how do you motivate people and keep motivating them if you refuse to understand what people prioritize and why they prioritize them even in the face of excellent evidence to not prioritize those things?? just seems counter productive to me to be sneering at, ultimately, benign behaviors and beliefs from people who don't hold much structural power. imo.

the way some of y'all tag triggers and content warnings makes me feel like i'm reading fucking homestuck typing quirks

So I'm getting ahead of this while I can. I know I write a lot of the popular limbus company characters, but just because I may write the same muse as your friend or even as you does not mean you can assume or generalize things about my characters. Please do not assume you know more about MY PORTRAYAL then me, even less forcing someone else's portrayal onto mine. It's something that has already happened quite often with my project moon characters and I'm already sick of it. If you don't like my portrayals, stop trying to make them someone else's, just go to that person instead.

"Trans men and women are both suffering" and "trans women are often specifically targeted by bigotry and harassment even within their own communities and deserve to be able to talk about their own unique challenges without being talked over" and "trans men are often erased from conversations about how bigotry and transphobia targets them and are not exempt from all the horribly draconian laws transphobes are attempting to pass" and "being trans doesn't make you immune to participating in horrible transmisogyny even and especially if you aren't aware you're doing it" and "holy shit don't reinvent bioessentialism but for trans people like holy fuck men are not destined to be evil and women aren't automatically incapable of harm" are all opinions that can and fucking SHOULD coexist

People should just talk to each other.

Look, I know I'm neuro-spicy, but SO MANY things can be sorted out by just speaking.

Express your feelings.

Express your needs.

Express your expectations.

Y'all don't realize how much internalizing shit actually hurts you. For real, it makes you sick physically.

Do yourself a favor and start speaking.

had to Google what an APV was for this

[captainjonnitkessler]

The second you start talking about some mysterious "they" that are controlling society in some fashion, you are engaging in dangerous conspiratorial thinking even if you're being woke about it. "They" did not institute the 40 hour work week specifically so you would be too tired to revolt. "They" did not invent the sleek minimalist aesthetic in order to crush the spirit of art in the common people. "They" are not pushing mediocre media into the mainstream in order to poison people's critical thinking skills.

Your best case scenario after that is you talk to someone who actually knows what the fuck they're talking about and you get embarrassed because you can't answer basic questions about your own ideology because you never learned anything past "the ruling class/capitalists/politicians are making things bad and if we got rid of them the bad things would all go away!"

Your worst case scenario is obviously the woo-to-fascist pipeline and you end up believing Jews are poisoning American food supplies with GMOs in order to turn us all into beta cucks, so like . . . maybe just stop blaming "them" before you fall down that route.

Obligatory round of disclaimers: Yes, sometimes people do bad things. Be specific about exactly who is doing what instead of ascribing it to some vague group of shadowy elites. Yes, sometimes things in society are bad. Learn to identify the root causes of complex social issues instead of assuming that they're actually extremely simple to fix and we're just not doing it because of some vague group of shadowy elites. Yes, minimalism isn't for everyone. Learn that some people don't share your tastes and get the fuck over it for the love of god.
